A Partial Collection Of Proverbs from
plymouth Pulpit.
Every farm should own a good farmer.
man never has good luck who has a bad
wife.
The masses against the classes, the world
over.
A man who does not love praise is not a
full man.
man must ask leave Of his stomach to be
happy man
1t takes longer for man to find out man
than any other creature that is made.
Flowers are the sweetest things that God
ever made and forgot to put a soul into.
A man without self restraint is like barrel
without hoops and tumbles to pieces.
Whoever makes home seem to the young
dearer and more happy is public bene-
factor
The greatest event in n hens life is made
up of an egg and n cackle- But eagles never
cackle.
A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for
he never thinks that he gets as much as he
deserves.
That cannot he healthy condition in
which few prosper and the great mass are
drudSes.
Communities are blest in the proportion in
which money is diffused through the whole
range of population.
Gambling with cards or dice or stocks is all
one thing-it is getting money without Civ
ing an equivalent for it.
Newspapers are the schoolmasters of the
common people. That endless book, the
newspaper, is our national glory.
One of the original tendencies of the hu-
man mind, fundamental and universal, is the
love of other peoples private affairs.
This is a good world to sin in: but, so far
as men are concerned, it is a very hard world
to repent in 1t is u bitter world; it is a cruel
world.
Poverty is very good in poems, but it is
very bad in a house. Ii is very good in
maxims and in sermons, but it is very bad in
practical life.
y COW Is the saint of the barnyard. She
could he fat if she only would be selfish But
she economies beauty that she may be pro-
fuse in milk
No city bred man has any business to OK
pect satisfaction in a pure country life for
two months unless he has a genius for leisure
and even laziness.
Debt rolls man over and over, binding
him hand and foot and letting him hang upon
the fatal mesh until the long legged interest
devours him.

st. John ON His Royal Ear.

CHICAGO, August 3.-Mr. j. A. st. John.
of st. Louis, took offense at dispatch
sent ont about the Gaudau Hnnlau race,
and threatened suit against the papers
publishing it. The reporter is very posi-
tive but he might have been mistaken.
Mr.. st. John is well-known business man
OF st. Louis, and an amateur in boating
After Investigation it has been decided that
it is. proper to make public the following
dispatch, and it is important that papers
using the dispatch of July 23d should also
use the correction to avert a libel suit.
[Signed1 VIM. HENRY SMITH.
CHICAGO. August 3.-The report sent out
by the Associated Press OF the Gaudaur-
Hanlan race, which took place July 23d at
Pullman. Ills. in which j. A. St. John was
charged with having ordered Gaudaur t.
lose, was incorrect in that particular and
did that gentleman great injustice. The
facts were that Mr.. st. John ordered Gau
daur. regardless OF the condition Of the wa
ter, to obey the orders of the referee and
to win If possible. There is no reason to
doubt that this race. like every other in
which Mr.. St. John and Gaudaur have
been connected, was rowed strictly on the
merits OF the men. It wac an error on the
part OF the referee to have sent the men out
in the rough water and in the gathering
darkness. The Oarsmen had no
appeal from his order and were in
no way responsible for the unsatisfactory
result.

AN EXCITING SCENE.
Boodler Wrenn Calls States Attorne
Walker Liar In Open Court.

Boodler wrenn Calls States Attorney
Walker . Liar In Open Court.
CHICAGO, August 3.-The defense in the
Doodle trial rested their case this morning,
and addresses to the jury began. The
first address was made by Assista Mt States
Attorney Walker. It was a terrific excori-
alton Of the defendants, particularly Com.
missioner Wrenn. As Walker went on
with his denunciation of Wrenn, the face
OF the huge defenda Mt grew pale with anger
and passion. Finally referring to the for
gerry OF H. c. Walkers name to the order,
Walker pointed to Wrenn and said when
Wrenn denied his own writing in court he
made himself perjurer in addition to
his other faults. At this Wrenn
lost control OF himself, and
jumping to his feet, yelled
'You'RE LIAR"
Instantly all was commotion. Walkers
face turned crimson and his eyes snapped
as he said: "Yes, repeat it. Dan WreDn,
you're a perjurer." you're a liar, you're a
liar. "yelled Wrenn, az with clenched hands
he advanced on the States Attorney, but
now it was the Couit's turn: 'Cease
this moment" cried the Judge, al
he raped vigorously on his desk.
When Wrenn repeated his insulting re.
marks, the Judge became pale. Don't let
me hear another word out OF your mouth,
Wrenn," commanded he, and two bur!y
baiIiffs forced the turbulent defendant into
bis chair. In a moment. however, he
struggled to his feet and said, you re lia'
and You know it," Then he rushed from the
court room in rage. Mr.. Walker, who
had not finished, continued his remarks
| to the jury and wasfollowed by the counse
| for the defense. His best point was al
assertion that at least five OF the defend
ants were entitled to acquittal under Tn
statute of limitation.
